Recruiting Health Science Students for the Seattle/King County Clinic “Listening Project”
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, please keep reading!
The UW Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education is partnering with the Seattle/King County Clinic (SKCC) to engage interprofessional student teams as volunteers at the September 2018 4-day clinic.
The “Listening Project” is in response to the clinic’s efforts to better understand the patient populations served. Small student groups will circulate clinic waiting areas, engaging with patients who wish to share their stories related to their health, accessing care, or their experience at the SKCC. Stories will be synthesized and prepared for dissemination to the SKCC, as well as city and state policy makers.
Students will be asked to sign up for one half-day shift during the days of clinic operation—September 20-23, 2018.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Nicole Woodard nwoodard@uw.edu.
